My name is Kimberly feusi and I interviewd two women who gave birth in different decades, one woman in 1983 and the second women in 2006, both women gave birth in the United States, Sacramento. I’m researching prenatal care, and birthing experiences, to see how times have changed and to see if some things have stayed the same. I interviewd Vickie first she gave birth on the 5th of October 1983 and her experience was different from Ann Marie who gave birth on the 5th of January 2006. Vickie was sixteen at the time of her first birthing experience and she was offered classes to show her how to care for a new baby, she took those classes, but Ann Marie was 16 too at the time of her first birthing experience and not offered any classes for her first birthing experience in 2006, but I looked up some resources and if you want to take classes for lamas class or labor and delivery and also a class to teach you about caring for a baby; you would have to ask your doctor for information regarding those classes. Vickie had prenatal vitamins throughout her pregnancy and Ann Marie had prenatal vitamins as well so that has stayed the same as times have changed. The prenatal vitamins are free and are given to you by your doctor. Vitamins are important to take during and after pregnancy, vitamins are helping the baby get certain vitamins that the mother don’t pass to the baby and it’s also good for the mother to get some of the vitamins that the baby takes from the mother.

Vickie had a simple pregnancy, she had some nausea during early pregnancy but if went away within the next couple months. Ann Marie had nausea just about the whole pregnancy and heart burn really bad the whole 9 months and Vickie no heart burn. Ann Marie said the only heart medication she could take was Tums, and Ann Marie said it didn’t work. The doctor prescribed her something else but it didn’t help at all. She stated that after child birth she had no more heart burn. She was happy that is the only thing about being pregnant that she did not enjoy at all. Prenatal visits have stayed the same during 1983 and 2006; prenatal visits are once a month until you get to the last month of your pregnancy, unless you have complications and need to be seen more often. Both parent had to have blood work done and test to make sure both baby and mother were healthy. Ann Marie had ultra sounds done at certain months and she remembers that when you are at 20 weeks most doctors can tell you what you are having, she found out she was having a girl and she got lots of pitchers of her baby girl. Prenatal visits are important and are given to you to help keep you, and the baby healthy and to follow how your baby is growing.

Vickie did not get to pick her own doctor; her doctor was picked for her. Ann Marie got to choose her doctor and get to have a tour of the hospital, and Ann Marie had a good relationship with her doctor. Some times in this decade you are not always able to pick your own doctor but most of the prenatal women have that option.

In 1983 home births weren’t offered to women but you could have a home birth if you went out on your own and picked your midwife and paid for it yourself. Doctors do not recommend home births, they frown upon home births due to the dangers of having problems and there is no medical reinforcement available right away; the book says home delivery has always been popular in certain industries nations, like England Netherlands, and Sweden, and the numbers have risen in the American women during 1970’s and 1980’s; it’s not something that was offered by doctors. Hospital deliveries have more life-saving treatments available if needed.

During labor Vickie wasn’t offered pain medication and she do not remember if it was because they just didn’t want to give it...

...simple pleasures.
Babies are a welcomed gift in the Amish culture and are viewed as a blessing
from God. They believe the # of children they have should be left in God's hands, this is
why it's forbidden to use birth control, because it would interfere with God's will. Amish
families tend to be large; 6-10 kids is common, and occasionally there are families with
up to 20 children born to one mother. When a woman gets pregnant; therapeutic
abortions, amniocentesis, and other invasive prenatal diagnostic testing (that some of us
may use) is not acceptable. They are happy "to take what God gives them." The Amish
usually have homebirths or give birth at birthing centers with a midwife. The only time
they do hospital births, is when there is risk to the mother or the child. At the hospitals,
routine interventions of labor and delivery are not used. IVs are available, but optional.
Fetal heart rate monitoring is done intermittently by doppler. Amish women usually labor
quietly while husbands support them by rubbing their backs, cooling them with hand fans,
and holding their hands. Labor tends to be shorter than average and happen peacefully
with controlled pushing. Most mothers breastfeed and are anxious to feed the baby after
delivery, but some produce no breastmilk at first, because of the huge workload and stress
of a large family, and can't feed the baby until the next day. So in the...

...Language Development in Deaf Child:
Language Development is a process starting early in human life. Infants start without language, yet by 4 months of age, babies can discriminate speech sounds and engage in babbling. Some research has shown that the earliest learning begins in utero when the fetus starts to recognize the sounds and speech patterns of its mother's voice.
Usually, productive language is considered to begin with a stage of preverbal communication in which infants use gestures and vocalizations to make their intents known to others. According to a general principle of development, new forms then take over old functions, so that children learn words to express the same communicative functions which they had already expressed by preverbal means.
Deaf Child:
About 1 in every 1,000 American infants is born deaf.Over 90% of deaf children have hearing parents.These children are often delayed in language and complex make-believe play.
Deaf infants and toddlers seem to master sign language in much the same way and at about the same pace that hearing children master spoken language.
Deaf 10-month-olds often “babble” in signs: they produce signs that are meaningless but resemble the tempo and duration of real signs.
Compared to hearing children, babbling of deaf children is delayed.
However, if they are exposed to sign language development will be right on schedule with...

The Child study data gathered has originated from observations taken at Water of Life Christian School. Water of Life Christian School is located in Fontana, California. In this morning class there is approximately 24 students, 3 teacher aids, and 1 lead aid named Tara. The child that this child study focuses on is named Jonathan, Jonathan is 3 years and 7 months old. Jonathan was chosen for this study for he was very active and vocal, when overlooking the whole class Jonathan was seen playing by himself, he was very animated and seemed to be enjoying his solitary play. Though Jonathan’s grammar is still developing and needs correcting every once in a while, Jonathan is a child who is not afraid to say what they want to say. Throughout all the observations, Jonathan was very vocal compared to his peers. He was not afraid to vocalize his needs and his wants. During observations 3-5, Jonathan’s biososical development, cognitive development, and cognitive development were observed.
According to the CDC developmental norms, Jonathan is in the 25th percentile for weight, weighing in to 33 pounds. Compared to his peers Jonathan did not display an overweight or underweight body size. Jonathan had proportionate leg and arm sizes and he had a moderately flat stomach. Jonathan weighs approximately 33 pounds and is 34.5 inches tall. In regard to the CDC developmental norms...

Collection of work
Aim
The aim of this project is to observe a group of children from different ages for a specific period of time to see if their developments are meeting their requirements with a few months leeway as every child does not develop the same and at the required age.
Objective
My objective for this project is to discuss my project with my supervisor and the children’s parents that are going to be involved with my developmental observations. My list of development observations are going to be, Physical development, intellectual development, language development, emotional development and social development. I will also include an evaluation revolving these observations.
Rational
Child observations can help with a child’s overall development. Observations can be carried out for the entire year and then presented to the parents at the end of the year. These observations can help the child care worker and parents to identify each child’s strengths and weaknesses. The records can help show how each child learns.
